Ingredients
Scale
- Fig Filling:
- 1 1/2 Cups Dried Black Mission Figs (soaked in water overnight)
- 1/4 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- Cookie Dough:
- 1 Cup Gluten-Free All Purpose Flour
- 3/4 Cup Teff Flour
- 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1/4 Cup Erythritol
- 1/2 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp Pure Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla Extract
- 1/4 Tsp Nutmeg
- 1/4 Tsp Orange Extract
- 1/2 Cup Unsweetened Applesauce
- 1 TB Milled Flax Seed + 2 TB Water (mix together to gel)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- For the fig filling, combine the soaked figs, cinnamon, and vanilla in a food processor and blend until you don't have big pieces of figs anymore.
- For the dough, in a large bowl combine all ingredients, adding the applesauce and gelled flax egg last.
- Knead together and let sit for 5 minutes before rolling the dough out between two Silpats or parchment paper. (Rolled to about the size of the mats)
- Cut the dough in half and spread the fig mixture, about 1 inch wide, on one of the cut halves of dough.
- Fold the dough over to cover the fig filling, shape and flatten the top of the log smooth and pinch the dough seam of the log closed.
- Repeat this process for the other half of the dough so you have 2 fig newton logs.
- Now cut the logs into 1-2 inch bars and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Bake the bars for 15 minutes, let cool before enjoying.
